lowering links and 22'

Finally got around to putting my rims and lowering links on that i bought in december. They are 22' savini bm8 titanium color. 22x10.5 et15 all around tires are toyo 295/30/22.

These first 2 picture are when i dropped the front 3.5inches. Hated the ride and i believe i went too low. Made the car too bouncy and i got an error msg when the car "ADS?" kicked in. The rear, i could only drop about an inch. The links i got was literally the same length as the stock links when i adjusted it to be shorter. "instruction stated longer length in front drop the car, shorter links in rear in back drops the car" is this correct? anyways here's the picture. also i didn't get an alignment yet. Will get one on friday. The front camber looks like it need adjusting.

Wow man, your car looks AWESOME!
The first pics, the front looked too low.
The 2nd pics, its looks PERFECT!
10.5" with ET15 actually looks very good! I was worried they would protrude too much, but it looks really nice & aggressive. Well done!!

How low did you end up going in the front ?
I had the same issue where the back only lowered by 1 inch

I have the same wheels in black. Love the look. I get a lot of compliments.

If anyone wants a spare set of drop links for cheap hit me up. It's a low cost way to get into the lowered stance.

What set of links did you use? Do you have a place to find them? How did they hold up after install?
